#592 - PAP Turns 70, Enters its Lawrence Wong Era & Even Hokkien Mee is AI Now

The ruling People’s Action Party turned 70, and has officially entered its Lawrence Wong era. At its ginormous biennial conference, our new PM formally took over as the party’s Secretary-General. Of course, we had to read between the lines and dissect his speech, as hype builds towards next year’s general election. Is that the oft-mentioned “fear-mongering” about the Opposition we’re hearing? And just how hard is it to recruit new blood? Speaking of which, an inventor-turned Hokkien Mee seller found it hard to recruit cooks, so he ordered a robot from Wuhan and programmed it to fry Hokkien Mee with his own recipe. We give our verdict!(00:00) Folklory(00:48) Intro(05:56) PAP Turns 70(34:02) Even Hokkien Mee is AI Now(50:00) One Shiok Comment(54:16) One Shiok ThingOur Folklory Christmas Promotion!Order by Fri, 6 Dec 2024, and get a FREE limited edition Folklory speaker (a saving of $40!)!It’s styled as a good ‘ol cassette, and will come preloaded with any Folklories you buy!So order by 6 Dec to guarantee your cassette delivery by Christmas on 25 Dec 2024!Get yours at Folklory.comFind us here!Our Website: https://www.ministryoffunny.comReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/YahLahBut/Telegram: https://t.me/YahLahButPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahlahbutIG: https://www.instagram.com/yahlahbut/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yahlahbutPAP Turns 70, Enters its Lawrence Wong EraOrderly transitions in political leadership cannot be taken for granted: SM Lee in last speech as PAP chiefNew members of PAP’s top decision-making body announced at party conferenceTributes pour in for outgoing PAP secretary-general Lee Hsien Loong at party’s awards dinnerPM Wong surprised by Apt. song choice as he takes the stageWith high stakes in next general election, PAP can no longer 'afford to stay in the background': PM WongNo chance of 'opposition wipe-out' in next GE: PM Lawrence WongEven Hokkien Mee is AI NowFormer engineer opens Hokkien mee stall with food cooked by a robotOne Shiok CommentComment by nyetkattYouTube comments on #591One Shiok ThingCNA wins Best News Explainer at AIB Awards in London for video on Israel-Gaza warThe Problem with Jubilee Mics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairThe Meat Club: Use the code “YLB20” for $20 off your order at https://themeatclub.com.sg/yahlahbut Edited and mixed by Tristen Yeak Hosted on Acast.
